RE: [soa-rm] What Is A "Metaservice"?

[<McGregor.Wesley@tbs-sct.gc.ca>]

Rex,

I think the next version of the SOA RM (if it continues) would address the "meta-service" concept since it would leverage the supporting RM concepts in some way. 

We still produced a viable RM even though the notion of a service was out there.

Also, the RA work can also add some concreteness to this term by providing some initial constructs for it. Frank and people like yourself, have some ideas on this I am sure!!!

Good point Wes,

Would it make an errata? Just to pre-empt the obvious.

Regards,
Rex

P.S. What would the equivalent be in a bus or a fabric? Can I build a 
server for it? Does it do Windows?
